Seriousness and Consonance Hall, Suyong Hall, Suyong Tang 肅雍堂
Suyong tang, Seriousness and Consonance Hall, was built between 1456 and 1462 by Lu Rong. It is the very center of the compound. The name 'seriousness and consonance' (suyong) comes from the Classic of Poetry, one of the Confucian Classics. It is the most important public space in the compound and the location for lineage-wide rituals, celebrations, entertainment, and discussions.

Aside from being the abode of the various religious specialists, they often serve as shelters for the vagrants in the city as well, in addition to other charity work that they might perform throughout the city.
